Click on
Check-In on the list bar on the left-hand side of the screen, select
Serials Check-in from that menu, and then search by the title or ISSN of the
journal. If more than one title is returned, pick the title with holdings at the appropriate
library. (If no titles are returned, then the journal may be received directly.)

The "Issue(s) in Hand" box shows issues that we expect to receive in the future. PRIOR TO JUNE
2006, notes were added when an issue was claimed. For example, an issue claimed on March 2, 2006
would have the note "****clmd 3-2-06****" at the end of the issue's identifying information.

All claims (both before and after June 2006) can be viewed by clicking on the
History button below the check-in information. The
Claims History tab identifies the claim type (for example, "no copies received" or
"imperfect copy supplied"), the date the claim was placed, how many times the particular issue has
been claimed (in the "claims" column), and who submitted the claim to the vendor (in the "operator"
column).

Using the Order Maintenance Screen:

Click on
Order Maintenance on the list bar on the left-hand side of the screen, and then
click on
Claims. Enter your search criteria (for example, everything claimed after a
certain date, a vendor name, or bibliographic info such as title) and click
Find.

The
Claimed Issues tab shows serials for which a claim has been placed. Use the column
headings to determine when a claim was placed, if it was the first time a claim was placed for an
issue, the reason for the claim, and the person who placed the claim.

For questions about a claim placed on a particular item, contact
